2 in serious condition after truck-motorcycle accident

Two Prosser residents were critically injured when a truck crashed into their motorcycle on a rural Benton County road.

Joseph Toregrase, 46, and Janice Rennebohm, 62, were flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after the wreck, said Benton County sheriff's Deputy Joe Lusignan.

Both were listed in serious condition Friday night, according to a nursing supervisor. They reportedly suffered head and leg injuries.

At the time of the crash, sheriff's deputies indicated the motorcyclists were so severely injured that it was not known if they would survive, according to Benton County District Court documents.

The crash happened at 9:45 p.m. Thursday on Old Inland Empire Highway, about a quarter mile east of Knox Road.

Toregrase and Rennebohm were on a 1994 Harley-Davidson Road King when a 2012 GMC pickup crossed into their lane and slammed into them, Lusignan said.

The driver of the truck, Chad M. Sehnert, 33, of Benton City, was arrested. Sehnert is believed to have been under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash, documents said.

He made an initial appearance in District Court on Friday and was ordered held without bail in the Benton County jail on investigation of two counts of vehicular assault.

Lusignan said the crash remains under investigation. Speed and toxicology tests are pending.
